Bukit Tabur Hike.....(Part2)

Kelly was asking me whether can I capture both part (the dam/forest and the city scape) in the same frame....so i give it a try....

Honestly...I didn't take it right...cause I don't have a ultra wide lens or a fish eye lens to cover such a wide landscape.....and so...I took it separately as well.....

and the view of the dam from Bukit Tabur....the photo is quite dark at it was back lit by the sunlight....gosh...what a bad timing huh...

I tone down the color to a cooler version....but instead it was hot sunny day up there....hehe...

I quite like the following photo....what do you think...???

This Bukit Tabur is not like those with one peak hill where you have only one target one objective.....it consists of a few peak where all these peaks are surrounding the dam in a "U" shape....I personally name it the "Five Finger Mountain"

At a point where we need to use a rope to climb down a not so deep cliff(90 degrees) and we found that there's a huge traffic...so lotsa people queuing up to get down it...don't think about highway...there's none there...ehehe...so we then camho for a while lor...

I saw this tree and happen that hosang was standing next to it....and "ding!!!" I asked him to pose a bollywood style....

Bukit Tabur Hike.....(Part 1)

Bukit Tabur hike was proposed by our mastermind, hosang and this outing had been planned way very early and quite a number of us do agree with the outing and so, here we come Bukit Tabur......
On the April 27 and it's Sunday morning....Haven't had the chance to sleep more after the whole day tiring from my company's annual dinner...and I head off to meet up with gangs with the sky still dark...(very rare...at least for me...)....Okay...we went for a quick breakfast and quickly went to Kepong to pick up ChunSiong.
Now we're at Melawati...a place very near to Batu Caves and Zoo Negara and it's where Bukit Tabur was located....Without wasting any time and it's now 8.15 am and we had already missed the sunrise....they are like rushing to the peak....and I barely can catch up with them....no...I'm totally not fit even they told me that it's a 20 mins journey to reach to the peak. So it sounds like damn easy rite??? I was exhausted and can't think of taking any pics at the beginning 15 ~20 minutes......
But after that...I'm feeling better and here I catch up with them and look what I got it here and what keep me moving for the rest of the time.....

It's not really that bad after all.....when I turned my head to the opposite....yes you bet this....

DSC00949.jpg

Clearly...it's just the beginning and we still had a long way to go....and I consider lucky to walk through the jungle like this.....it's shady...

DSC00956.jpg

and I slow down to look at something like this....even it's just some very normal plants....but I love the green when it's shine up.....

DSC00954.jpg

as we walk...I'll introduce all the gang members slowly.....the first one would be the couple...Daniel and Lennie.....

DSC00952.jpg

here comes few of them....and they are pretty happy to me that I'm alright...

DSC00950.jpg

introducing them.....

DSC00951.jpg

we did take a short break and here we snap again....

DSC00960.jpg

DSC00961.jpg

DSC00962.jpg
